2008 Contest maps now available

[Matt Herron Jr.]

I am pleased to announce that at the suggestion of John Seaborn,
GlidePlan will be making contest maps available for all 2008 SSA
sanctioned contests on our website. These maps will be constructed
from current NACO sectional scans, valid as of the date of the
contest. The map areas will accommodate overlay of the official
turnpoints plus a buffer of about 50 nm beyond. All maps are designed
for use with GlidePlan software and are provided free for download.
GlidePlan can import SeeYou formatted (.cup) turnpoint lists from the
WW Turnpoint Exchange for overlay and customization on the maps.

The Region 5 South/Standard Class Nationals, and 18 meter nationals
maps are already available for download at http://www.glideplan.com/download/contest.html
Many thanks go out to John for his technical and strategic suggestions
while working on the racing section of the SSA website, as well as
his encouragement in making this possible.

Looking forward to a great racing season.

Matt Herron Jr.

Thanks Kevin.

I just added three more contest maps:

Region 5 World & Sports Class Contest
Region 6 Contest
Region 11 Contest &Sport Class Nationals

The last one may be timely for those going to any of the XC and racing
camps put on by Craggy Aero. I have also updated and enlarged the
collection of custom maps, including some huge areas covering the
rockies, south and East of Denver. Questions or comments can be fired
